#1 They do it out of habit.
Sometimes, just waking up and texting you a “good morning” is a habit for them they just can’t shake. It’s part of their routine, and they’re not ready to let it go even if they had to let you go.
#2 They miss you.
If this isn’t the most obvious reason, I’m not sure what is. Honestly, if your ex is texting you in any capacity–other than to arrange dropping off belongings, etc.–then they miss you. They want to talk to you and get a reply out of you because they miss the conversation.
#3 They heard you have someone new.
Am I the only one who gets a new boyfriend and all my exes immediately text me as if some sort of signal goes off, and they have to jump in and mess things up right away? If your ex hears you’re with someone new, they might text you just to scope them out and compare themselves to your new lover.
#4 Something reminded them of you.
From time to time, if I see something that reminds me of an inside joke with my ex, I might snap a picture and send it to them. This is an innocent reason to text an ex that doesn’t always have a deeper meaning.
However, if it’s frequent and stirs up a lot of conversation on their part, then they may be trying to rekindle some feelings by sending you things that remind them of the two of you.
#5 Winter is coming and they don’t have a cuddle buddy.
Many studies have proven the majority of people enter into relationships in the winter months so they have someone to bear the cold with. AKA: someone to snuggle up next to the fire and whisper sweet nothings in their ear.
If it’s around the winter months and holiday season, you could be in danger of your ex texting you because they’re looking for someone to share body heat with this winter.
